Simplify Packing, Travel & Holidays & Emergency. Discussion

Simplify Packing for Holidays and Travels.

In preparation for those long weekends away, the family holiday/vacation and business trips, these are often stressful times. Organizing ourselves, making the process simpler and therefore less stressful is quite a feat, almost a miracle for some.

Do you have a checklist?

Are you someone who's so organized you're packed 2 weeks beforehand, or last minute?

In the context of travel/vacations I was considering what is a good amount of emergency/first aid/prepardness items to take/pack?

For example a few items I pack:

Homeopathic and Bach flower remedies and a few regular items such as Advil and plasters/bandage/small sissors. A Photocopy of my passport when leaving the country stored separate to my actual passport. A list of my credit card numbers and the emergency number to call, as if you loose your card the telephone number also goes too!

What about that emergency preparedness bag, do you have one and who's responsibility it is to keep it usable?
